How did we get from Hollywood to YouTube? What makes Wikipedia
so different from a traditional encyclopedia? Has blogging
dismantled journalism as we know it?
Our media landscape has undergone a seismic shift as digital
technology has fostered the rise of "participatory culture," in
which knowledge is originated, created, distributed, and evaluated
in radically new ways. The Participatory Cultures Handbook is an
indispensable, interdisciplinary guide to this rapidly changing
terrain. With short, accessible essays from leading geographers,
political scientists, communication theorists, game designers,
activists, policy makers, physicists, and poets, this volume will
introduce students to the concept of participatory culture, explain
how researchers approach participatory culture studies, and provide
original examples of participatory culture in action. Topics
include crowdsourcing, crisis mapping, grid computing, digital
activism in authoritarian countries, collaborative poetry,
collective intelligence, participatory budgeting, and the
relationship between video games and civic engagement.
